When I'm feeling comfortable in my own skin, this is me. Big smiles and laughing til my stomach hurts. When i’m struggling though, I find myself curling into my little turtle shell. Even seemingly simple interactions with others turn into a challenge. Some days it can be a struggle to get out of bed. Some days it can be a struggle to leave the house. That's 100% okay.

Oh 2017, you have certainly been a doozie. We've been through some changes, we've been a part of a whole lot of pretty, and I like to think that we've done a little bit of good.

First and foremost, I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you. I feel so grateful to have the capacity to do what I love, and that's because of each and every one of you. Some of you have been with me since the thought of Clearwater was a little seedling, and some of you are newer. Either way, I'm so appreciative to have you on this journey with me. Thank you for believing in me and for supporting me in #alloftheways.

Welcome to the blog! The holidays may be here, but I'm so thrilled to be starting off on this blogging journey with you. Starting a blog has been on my to-do list for a while now, so I'm excited that we're finally off to the races.
